Our thoughts drift back to that night so long ago
Graduation night, how the years would swiftly go
Can it be that fifty years have come and gone away?
Friends from our green years, where are they today
How we promised we would stay in touch forever
These ties that so bind us we would cut them never
Yet procrastination creeps upon us as years fly by
People slip away from us no matter how hard we try
Time may have diminished but memories we keep
Bringing back the faces of those dear ones we seek
Tonight there will be empty seats we can never fill
But wherever they may be we remember them still
Written for the Nora Springs graduating class of 1958
